How will our reaction be if space creatures reach Earth?
If the arrival of space objects is announced to our planet, what will be our reaction? How will we act? A psychologist has revealed the psychological consequences that may arise in humans when they first contact peaceful Aliens.
Imagine the arrival of a large flying dish to the ground, approaching the headquarters of the United Nations in New York and hanging in the air above the square where UN headquarters is located, and millions of people watching the mysterious spacecraft on television.
The crews of the space object enter the global communications networks and broadcast in various languages a brief message via radio, television and the Internet openly and publicly.
The message says: "The sons of the earth: You are not alone in the universe, we are in a distant world similar to your world, we knew your existence and decided to present ourselves publicly and travel to your planet."
We want to meet with your representatives to work together to eliminate the wars, problems and disadvantages that make your world an uncomfortable place. "
"We have come to peace, we represent one of the many worlds inhabited in this galaxy," she concludes.
A few hours later, a space object descends on a platform from inside the dish in front of the United Nations, whose features are very similar to human features with some small differences and certain features of his world but without anything disturbing.
In his program "What happens if space creatures communicate with the earth?" Published on its electronic portal "Mundo Desconocido," the scientist of mysterious mysteries, supernatural phenomena and space objects, Jose Luis Camacho, imagines the premise of the first peaceful connection between humans and space creatures. "Ie (an unknown world).
"The impact, transformations and changes that may occur to humans through open communication with a more advanced civilization can be enormous, unpredictable and multiple, such as what happened at the time of arrival," says Camacho, whose YouTube channel has more than 1 million followers. Europeans to America more than five centuries ago. "
What is the potential psychological impact of the scene described by Camacho when the arrival of space creatures to our planet and communicate openly with the rest of humanity?
Trust and hostility and expectation
Psychologist Margarita Garcia Marcis points out that "in the light of the above scene, there may be all sorts of reactions: both the predictable and the curious approaching the space creatures to create contact with them peacefully, or the paranoid that attacks them in the light of the possibility that they have come Peaceful but bad intentions. "
"Everyone's reaction to this hypothesis may depend on their own experiences, personal histories and personality, be it bold or shy, trustworthy, panic, or a propensity for progress or decline in life."
She adds that each person's reactions are influenced by "the education and messages received in his or her life, environment and environment based on being a harsh or mild person or who has suffered attacks of any kind."
"As usual, there will be a proportion of nice and hostile people, and there will be those who do not care or who will wait for what happens."
According to the psychologist, "Some may see that communicating with space creatures in a positive, curious and reliable way is an opportunity to learn about another life." Others will be careful and watch what happens to the riskers who approach them.
For Marx, it may be similar to "the arrival of Europeans to America, Africa or China, and those great historical connections where you learn about different cultures, different behaviors and reactions from multiple parties, both nice and open or rebellious and hostile."
"Space creatures, of course, could be a more advanced technological civilization because they developed a spaceship to come to Earth and because they were watching our habits for a while before deciding to visit us," Marques said.
"Although it comes with a message of peace, it is recommended to be careful because everything in existence has two sides, you may know more about us than we know about them, and verify that they will allow us to know them better, or explain their intentions."
different cultures
"In such a situation, where people will have the least developed culture, it would be desirable to be curious and open minded and see what happens, but with caution, and prepare ourselves for good or bad, where the space creatures may adopt a seemingly peaceful behavior To see human weaknesses. "
"Relationships, communication and communication with others and other cultures may be healthy and mutually beneficial, but there may also be misunderstandings, so that what may be normal for a culture may receive another culture as a negative thing," according to the same expert.
The psychologist recommends that "fear of the unknown is natural, but from this feeling it is necessary to try to identify that unknown, the space creatures, and see whether what is happening is positive or negative, comes back to something that is taken from us."
"In relationships we always have to give and take, so it is likely that space creatures will want something in return for the help you will give us, for example learning from humanity, like anthropologists do in studying civilizations and cultures, To be cautious so that we know about it. "
"Communication of this kind, such as the historic encounter between Europeans and other continents, has closed the main factor of any discovery: let us consider that there are many ways to understand the relationships, customs, world and life that are different from those we know and brought up as the only ones," she said.
"At the confluence of two cultures that take and give mutual things, such as what is going on throughout history and now at a faster pace and on a larger scale because of technology-driven globalization," she adds.
"Communicating with other cultures and people expands vision into reality, opens the mind, expands horizons, enriches our psychological lives, and communicates with space creatures that may contribute to the same thing but on a larger scale, knowing that this will require a development that will go through a different crisis and stages."
The conclusion of the specialist analysis that "because there is no good or purely beneficial to us, as in any personal relationship or social, any contact with the creatures of space will have to prepare for the bad aspects and give a return for the success of the relationship and exchange is beneficial to the parties."
